Ergonomic die horse

Abstract

An easily maneuverable and transportable die horse that utilizes swivel spring-loaded casters is provided. The die horse is comprised of the customary top and legs wherein the legs are connected to the top and extend outwardly and downwardly therefrom, a support brace is secured across the legs and a base mounted to the legs parallel to and below the top and at least one swivel spring-loaded caster means, commonly known in the industry, mounted to the die horse. The spring-loading of the caster means allows the spring to support the die horse in an unloaded state thus allowing a user to easily manipulate the die horse. When the die horse is loaded, the weight of the die horse exceeds the biasing of the spring causing the bottom portion of the legs to contact the floor, thus preventing movement thereof.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A die horse having a loaded and unloaded state, the die horse comprising: 
 first support means;    second support means;    a top operatively connected to said first and second support means and extending substantially horizontally therebetween; and,    at least one biasing means operatively connected to said top, wherein said biasing means supports said die horse during the unloaded state, and when said die horse is in said loaded state, the load overcomes said biasing means and said first and second support means contact the underlying support surface.
